Oil buhner



tw0 streams, oue following a path around the outer Wall of ehe casingan(l the othe1 following t'he inner Wall; thus preventing what is termedbacklashing, that is, the gas tendlng t0 f0110w a continuous PS/6haround the outside 01" the casing and reurning along the immer wa1l tothe in1et anal Sefiting; up a munter flow t0 the i1 1c01ning gas.

Ehe bu1ner is staraed by just heating the gene-rator tube for a shorbperiod 0f time by the piiot flam@ and then turning 011 the fuel supply,the gas issuing from the small peri0rations in the lava discs beingignited by a match 01' by the ilot flame and burning in groaps of smallblue flames. Once ignited, the burne1 keeps tha generator tube h0t, thesame being located im1nediately above a row 0f the lava discs 0n oneside 01 the slot 18, as shown in Figure 1.

T0 clean the orifice of carbon deposits,

the generator tube is disconnected from the burner by removing thecotter pin 22 and withdra'wing the end. oi' the tube fromm the housing1%. Likewise thc interior 0f the tube can be cleaned by unscrewing theplugs at each end, driving out the 10d, sc raping 0fi the carbon andthen using. the rod to scrape the carbon f1om the inside 0f the tube.

Suitabla bracke-ts 34 011 ehe sides 0'JI' the casing 10, ancl adjustablefeet 35 on the undersidg thereof, serve to support the burner within thestove 01 heater. In a water heater having a vertical pipe extendingcntra1ly from the coil 01' heating sections, the burner is readilyinstalled by removing the housing 14: and slipping the casing around thepipe, which fits within the rounded end of the slot 13.

1 -c1aim as my invention:

l. An oi1 burner comprising a relatively flaccasing, having burnerelements in the top Wall thereof, a vaporizing chamber a1; one edge0fsaid casing and connnunicating therewith thr0ugh an inlet opening andhaving a ortion extending above the Top Wall 0f said casing, avaporizing tube extending across the t0p 0f said casing With one enc1inserted into said vaporizing cham bar, and provided at said end with adischarge orifice adaPted (0 be direcixed wward sa1d 1nlet openmg iosa1d casmg.

2. A11 011 burnea compr1sm a cas1ng having a pluraly 0f bu1ner elemenisin its t0p surface, a mixing chamber at t110 edge of sald casing andcommunicating wlth said calsing, a generator tube extending 2ICIOSSL1IGt0p sufiace 0f said casing ab0\'a a 10W of said burn er elements, and avaporizing tube extending transversely above said casing and pro-videdat itsdischarge end Wifih a laterally opening orific said mixingcha1nber having a portion extening above said casing and provided withopening t0 receive the discharge end 0'f sa mporizing tube.

3. An 0i.1 bu1ner comprising a relatively flat casing 01 substai1tiallycircular shape, havinga plurality of burner discs in it's top Wall anaa. flattened edge portion having an in1et ope'ning therein, a housingremovably secured against Said fiattenad edga, am! communicating withsaid inlet spening, and a generator tube removably mounted above saidcasing und having one end provided with a discharge orifice and adaptedto be inserted through an opening in said housing Wih said orificedirectad toward said. inlet opening.
